I am a 21 yr old. And my last period was on June 26-29. I have not received my period for July on July 5th I started spotting brownish and lite cramping. Then I spotted alil again on the 2nd of Aug. but I still have not received my period. Me and My Husband have not been using birth control or protection. I don't know what I should do.. Could I be pregnant?

Yes, it is very possible you could be pregnant. Although implantation bleeding is not as common as many think, this sounds as though it could be implantation bleeding.

Have you taken an HPT? If not I suggest you do and please keep us informed.

I have not taken a hpt test.. because I am nervous about the results.. this is something I really want... Now, I have another question.. yesterday Aug 5th I was using the bathroom.. (urinating) and I noticed in the toilet very small blood clogs.. is this normal?

Well, have you been bleeding continuously since Aug 2? It does not matter whether it has been light or heavy, just continuous.

Clots can be normal with a period, we all have them at different times. If you look back you may notice that your periods are not always exactly alike. For some lucky few they are, but not necessarily.

You say you are nervous about the results. Can you go more in depth about this. I understand you really want this, are you afraid that maybe you are not? That is what I am reading here.

It is important that you take a test, because if you are you need to be on prenatal vitamins to give your system a boost that regular foods cannot give.

Also, please be as descriptive as possible in all your answers. I don't care about long posts, but the more info the better.

Well no I haven't had a regular period since June 26-29 but, all this spotting has never happened to me before. I'm worried because I am a cigarrette smoker. The only thing I have been really experienceing was spotting and the lite clogs...

[J_9]

Well being a cigarette smoker is dangerous to women on birth control, so if you are worried about that and your period, I would not worry so much.

However, I do believe it is time for an HPT, then if you find out you are pregnant you can work on the smoking then.

Get tested ASAP. Home pregnancy tests are generally reliable or see your doctor. Proper earlly-stage pre-natal care is of the utmost importance so find out now.

I took a Hpt and both lines came up but one of the lines were very light. Am I pregnant or what.

[J_9]

It sounds as though you are. You may just have a slight amount of pregnancy hormone called Hcg that is causing it to show up light.

Sounds to me like it is time to call the doc!! :p

Lately I've Been Having Lite Menstral Cramps... (but No Spotting Or Bleeding) And A White Discharge.. Is This Normal I Am 7 Weeks Pregnant Some One Please Help!!

[J_9]

Yes, dear this is normal. There is much more mucous build up when you are pregnant. Helps to keep the vaginal canal moist.

The light cramps could be nothing more than your expanding uterus. Since this is your first pregnancy you will notice things a little more than if it were your second or third.

Have you been to the doc yet? Prenatal vitamins?

[Mrivera]

No not yet. I am going to call the doctor on Monday August 21 to make an appointment
